Is this treatment safe for loaches?

supposedly safe for all, but all our fish died, so... and I am a veterinarian, I read labels.

My betta had what looked like white fuzz close to it's mouth/gills and after treating it with this for a week, it cleared up.Hope this helps!

Yes it works great and does not hurt the fish. I have used it yearly for 11 years to kill the weeds. We swim and fish and have dogs in it , no problem. Mine is large 3/4 acre and 25 feet deep. Just do half of the pond at a time if you have fish as it sucks the oxygen out of the water, and make sure you don't get it on anything else, as it will kill it.

We use it for our 2-lb goldfish. We raise temp to about 78 force the ich to cycle and she handles it well. While it's almost impossible to completely get rid of Ich, this medication knocks it out enough to get her healthy again. We notice she gets sick more often in the summer when we have hot and then cool weather. We have installed a heater to keep the temp as close to 74 as possible. Good luck!

No it won't hurt the fish at all. There is a slot that is next to the blue filter. You can use a flat bio filter in it instead of the wheel. It all works the same. Just remove the wheel and add the bio filter.

Yes! It contains live bacteria and it does wonders for your tanks health. I use it half dose twice weekly with my water changes and it's amazing how clean and fresh my tanks and my pond look. I used to get a build up of gunk on the hoses, plants and hard to clean area's but since I've been using this my equipment looks brand new. Great stuff...wouldn't raise fish without it!

Yes, you can treat the entire tank. I treates Corys with and had no issue. Scaleless fish are at the most risk by any medication but then again, they are also at risk of any disease or fungus they have too. Good luck.

I'm not sure on silverfish,but you can give it a try.It definitely works on cockroaches!

you can add water conditioner to the tank immediately after the water change. It shouldn't hurt your fish.

The package says it's not recommended for aquariums. It's fairly toxic stuff and any residue would probably kill fish. I used it to patch a crack in my driveway. It did a good job at that.

I also wouldn't think it would hurt.. My fish had a mild case of fin rot and a fungus growing on their body and within a couple of days of treatment it eventually cleared up and now my fish are good and healthy.

It will activate and help with debris breakdown in warmer water. I use the bacteria in fall and spring. The fall treatment helps the fish stay healthy through hibernation.

No, but I do use this with my betta. The sand is kinda rough, has a largish grain size, so it might hurt the cories when they go nosing around in it. You'd be better off with the Caribsea product that's just called Super Naturals, it's a white sand, softer and better for cories. =)

I had a difficult fresh water ich issue last year and found that Mardel Maracide worked better. I increased the water temperature to 82 to help with the medication. I think Goldfish like colder water, so I'm not sure about how they will tolerate higher temps. The problem is probably water quality related.

I've used it in my tank with snails on many occasions without any problems. My snails are still safe and happy. I am not saying it is or isn't safe, simply saying that in my tank, my snails are doing great using Algone on a regular basis. Keeps the water clear and healthy as well!

I'm not a qualified professional so don't take my word as gospel but my opinion is to not use it. It could, as you said, render the other poisons less desirable to the roaches and I wouldn't worry much about the roaches in other places. The roaches will contaminate the whole nest. Then the dead roaches get eaten (with poison in their cadavers) and even their feces gets eaten so they should spread the bait everywhere.

The bottle does not specifically address your question, it just says 'safe for ALL aquarium inhabitants. You may do well to contact the mfr at Hagen.com.
